Hi Support,

the above is the code for the EmailPriceAlert indicator,i`ve only change the Price Value logic.What i`d like to ask is to add the logic that will Alert me in the message if the price actually closed above or below relative to the prior bar and hence,if the current price closes above the prior bar,i`d like "Sell at X" text int the alert message.

anyone willing to help?

Thanks a lot in advance!

How could you modify it to email the execution order information? This is what I am testing out right now... Will it work for any type of execution? (manual/automated/atm/non-atm/)

private IOrder entryOrder = null;

protected override void OnExecution(IExecution execution)
{

if (entryOrder != null && entryOrder == execution.Order)
{
Print(execution.ToString());
SendMail("@gmail.com", "@gmail.com", "Trade Alert ", execution.ToString());
}
}

Hello brucelevy,

Using OnExecution() would only pull the strategy instance's executions. There is no means to pull other executions outside of the strategy's own orders that it submits.

[brucelevy]

Ok, what could I use to email the order information (instrument, order type, fill price, long/short etc)

[NinjaTrader_PatrickH]

Hello brucelevy,

Are you looking to e-mail the strategy's executions or the accounts?

[brucelevy]

I want to email the order information when the automated strategy takes a trade

brucelevy,

There should be no issue doing this in the OnExecution() method. Are you running into any errors?

[brucelevy]

Well I am not receiving any email regarding trade alerts. The only email I got was one that says "Error on loading chart data for 'NQ 03-16 Globex': Connection to data server is busy or not available right now. Please try again later."
